    Rod Underhill, District Attorney 1021 Southwest Fourth Avenue, Room 600 Portland, Oregon 97204-1193 Phone: 503-988-3162 www.mcda.us March 2, 2020 James Bernard Hobbs-Fletcher admits to stealing more than $14K in merchandise from Ulta Beauty Today, Multnomah County District Attorney Rod Underhill announced that 26-year-old James Bernard Hobbs-Fletcher admitted that he stole more than $14,000 from Ulta Beauty. Hobbs-Fletcher pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated theft in the first degree. The court imposed a 24 month prison sentence with 24 months of post-prison supervision. Hobbs-Fletcher will have to pay $14,897 in restitution. Multnomah County Deputy District Attorney Kevin Demer, who prosecuted this case said: "These were deliberate thefts and these types of crimes have a real impact on our community. As we heard the court reiterate today, this is not a victimless crime. It impacts the business community, and in particular employees and the store customers who see the crime or pay higher prices. The cost of these crimes are substantial, both emotionally and financially.” During this investigation, the Portland Police Bureau identified multiple instances of thefts occurring from Ulta Beauty stores located at Cascade Station, Jantzen Beach Center and Lloyd Center. In almost every case Hobbs-Fletcher would enter the stores and shove merchandise into his bag and leave without paying, even after being confronted by employees. Most of the merchandise stolen included fragrances. Date of Incident Store Location Value of merchandise November 12, Cascade Station $928 2019 November 13, Jantzen Beach $2,684 2019 November 18, Lloyd Center $2,067 2019 November 19, Lloyd Center $596 2019 SEE NEXT PAGE November 25, Jantzen Beach $1,315 2019 December 1, 2019 Cascade Station $3,184 December 4, 2019 Cascade Station $3,619 On December 10, 2019, police located Hobbs-Fletcher in the 11400 block of Northeast Sandy Boulevard on an unrelated matter.

  • A Place at the Table Some Snapshots of the Oregon LGBTQ Movement’S History
    A Place at the Table Some snapshots of the Oregon LGBTQ movement’s history By George T. Nicola Last updated 11-16-2017 By the LGBTQ movement, we mean the movement that advocates that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) persons be treated equally and with the same dignity as heterosexual and cisgender people. This includes non- discrimination and non-bias based on sexual orientation and gender identity. A Place at the Table ● A GLAPN 11/16/2017 1 Presentation By the mid 1960s, the City of Portland had abandoned its efforts to close all the gay bars in the city limits. The bars were not well identified, but gay men and lesbians who could locate them felt relatively secure within their walls. Darcelle XV Showplace in Still, given the hostility of the city government, those who downtown Northwest Portland opened gay bars were very courageous. One of those people, Walter Cole, bought a bar in Old Town, Northwest Downtown in 1967 and welcomed a mixed but primarily lesbian clientele. The bar was originally named Demas Tavern, but changed its name to Darcelle XV Showplace for Walter Cole on the right, with Walter’s drag persona. It became famous for its elaborate his life partner, the late Roxy Neuhart drag shows and remains open today as Oregon’s oldest gay bar. In addition to being iconic, the club has raised large amounts of money for local LGBTQ causes. In 2016, Guinness World Records listed Darcelle as the “oldest drag queen performer”. Walter as Darcelle A Place at the Table ● A GLAPN 11/16/2017 2 Presentation Oregon’s LGBTQ movement began with a few local politically oriented gay groups.
